Before You Call

Solutions to Common Problems

Before you call for service, review this list. It may save you time and expense. The list includes common occurrences that are not the result of defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.

OCCURRENCE

POSSIBLE CAUSE / SOLUTION

Range is not level.

Poor installation. Place oven rack in center of oven. Place a level on the oven rack. Adjust

 

leveling legs at base of range until the oven rack is level.

 

 

 

Be sure floor is level and is strong and stable enough to adequately support range.

 

 

 

If floor is sagging or sloping, contact a carpenter to correct the situation.

 

 

 

Kitchen cabinet alignment may make range appear unlevel. Be sure cabinets are square

 

and have sufficient room for range clearance.

Cannot move appliance easily. Appliance must be accessible for service.

Cabinets not square or are built in too tightly. Contact builder or installer to make appliance accessible.

Carpet interferes with range. Provide sufficient space so range can be lifted over carpet.

Oven control beeps continuously and F1, F3 Electronic control has detected a fault condition. Turn the Temperature Control Knob to

or F9 appears in the display.OFF, and disconnect the power to the range. Wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power. If fault recurs, disconnect the power and contact an authorized servicer.

Surface unit too hot or not hot enough. Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be used.

Surface unit does not heat.

Lightweight or warped pans used. Use only flat, evenly balanced, medium or heavyweight cookware. Flat pans heat better than warped pans. Cookware materials and weight of the material affect heating. Heavy- and medium-weight pans heat evenly. Because lightweight pans heat unevenly, foods may burn easily.

No power to the appliance. Check steps under "Entire Appliance Does Not Operate" in this Before You Call checklist.

Incorrect control setting. Make sure the correct control is on for the surface unit to be used.

Entire appliance does not operate.

Make sure cord/plug is plugged tightly into outlet.

Service wiring is not complete. Contact your dealer, installing agent or authorized servicer.

Power outage. Check house lights to be sure. Call your local electric company for service.

Oven light (some models) does not work. Replace or tighten bulb. See Changing Oven Light (some models) in this Use & Care Manual for instructions.
